Bugatti Fan Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Tom, Thanks for the heads up on the Plastruct Hexagonal Styrene Rod. It does not seem to appear on any of the Plastruct racks I have seen in model shops here in the UK. I will keep a better weather eye open for it now I know it does exist. A company named EMA (Engineering Model Associates) in London seem to be the main importers, so I will try them first. The proprietary punch / die tools you mentioned. I have seen them at shows and they are very good (and quite pricey too!) However they are precision tools so the cost has to reflect that. It's just a question of how affordable they are.
Darren B Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 wow any updates on this , was hoping to see more.....
Quick GMC Posted December 23, 2013 Author Posted December 23, 2013 This one is still in the works guys, just very slow. I am more focused on some 1/24 stuff and I just had a baby, so it may be a while. It is not forgotten though. I appreciate all the comments. I am learning these skills as I go, so sometimes I get frustrated not knowing what to do next, so I put it away. I think I will move on to other parts of the car though, so I can make progress on something.
Mike Kucaba Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 If this is the 1/12th Chevy it was tooled in the 90's The 1/16th chevies were tooled in the 70's. You probably know by now that many hex bolt heads can be simulated by hex shaped plastic and brass rod. Your work on this is certainly stunning.
